  4. darTealing lounge is so adorable! i bought the bloomspot deal and took my mom, sister, her 2 daughters & our 2 cousins out for some high tea!  we had a pot of hot chocolate along with 3 different types of teas which included a black tea called the “big keemum on campus”,  a green tea called “cabana boy” and an oolong tea called “in dew time”.  to eat, we had the classic cucumber with fresh herbs, turkey & pesto cream, darjeeling curried chicken, smoked salmon & capers, strawberries & cream and PB&J.  of course, no high tea is complete without some cookies & biscuits!  paired with the lemon curd and the biscuits were super yummy!!! there was more than enough sandwiches and tea to go around and we have a lovely family filled afternoon *^.^* definitely a day to remember!

  5. i had a wonderful brunch at cotogna this past weekend! their mismosa was different from your typical mimosa. it was made with prosecco, orange juice and cocchi, a type of wine… it was delicious!  next we had some blueberry scones & savory biscuits with strawberry & blueberry jelly/jam!  the savory biscuits were my favorite but i did enjoy the blueberry scones too. i had the croque madame and my friend ordered the pork belly dish with eggs, potatoes & i think spinach and caramalized onions.  i don’t remember the exact name of the dish but what i do remember is that it was SO good!  my friend couldn’t stop saying how good it was!  and the croque madame was definitely a hit as well.  cotogna’s croque madame was more like a sandwich with less cheese than a typical croque madame but it was scrumptious!  i enjoyed every bite!

  6. YUM!  my favorite is the bacon cheddar & scallion biscuits from brown sugar kitchen in oakland!  beware, long wait on saturday & sundays for breakfast/brunch/lunch.  expect 1-2 hours or more depending on what time you go.

  8. went to prospect for the “neighbor” special brunch pricing last month…glad we caught it b/c everything was deeeelicious!  we ordered the apple wood smoked salmon tartine, the monkey bread, shrimp & grits and waffles!  i thought the rye bread that was used in the apple wood smoked salmon tartine could have been more crunchy but other than that, everything tasted great!  especially the monkey bread!!!
